I am also *against* Link local.
IP's should be globably unique. Which will overcome many problems
like network mergers ('oh we need to NAT now'), e2e problems etc.
They can be handy for some situations, but those situations will
impose bigger problems later on requiring strange solutions for
something which could be so simple without all of this.
If you want security -> firewall or simply don't route the block ;)
And it should be quite possible for anybody to use one /64 out of
their /48 for 'printers' and 'microwaves'. Not even talking about
refridgerators full with IPv6 beer (seen that one already :)
I would like to give those appliances globally routable IP space
simply because it would allow my printer to order new paper from
the store when it's almost out. Or better... new beer in my fridge!
Greets,
Jeroen
